At least the guy in your story was clever enough to get new roses, and I hope the candy was not chocolate but something longer lasting. Hot story by the way - and a bit longer than you normally write them ? I really liked the sheriff.

Oops didn't realize I'd get the top spot - let me just add

Thanks. I write them that long; I just don't post them to Lit. in one go like that. Have to for the contests, though.

Thanks to everyone who's so far entrered. But for those who haven't yet submitted let me remind you that A.I.R. does have somewhat different entry rules than the LITEROTICA section of the contest. Please consult the A.I.R. support thread for further details.

Good evening. The cards tell me that there are 15 stories in the competition to date, with an average score of 4.38 from an average of 121 votes. Stories had an average of 7,659 views, an average of 5 favorites, and an average of 5 comments. The average ratio of votes to views is 1.04%. The average number of pages is 4.2, with the longest story being 7 pages.

So far there have been a total of 969 votes, 114,890 views, 77 favorites and 88 comments.

The standard deviation of scores (from the average of 4.38) is 0.21 and the standard deviation of votes (from the average of 121) is 96. The median score is 4.39, the median number of votes is 54 and the median number of pages is 4. The top 25% of scores are 4.47 or above and the bottom 25% of scores are 4.17 or below.

Because of the way this site works these figures will not be totally up-to-date. For a given story the score shown on the category page, the author's page, and the toplists page, can all be different. Also it appears that various pages update at different times of the day, sometimes quite infrequently.

Please do not PM me asking for more detailed information. I do not wish to skew contest results by giving a target for voting manipulation.

Bloody Hell TTT, I just finished reading your story, and I've got goose bumps all over. The 5 stars were easy, but I'm not going to get involved in commenting in LW. So I'll just tell you here that I thought it was great. But you're very naughty putting it in LW, that story belonged in Romance.

Tim, the problem sometimes lie in the fact that a story is earmarked for one category and gets put in another. After a while you just stick it in LW's to start with.

Oh, I second this. In fact, I'd like to take this opportunity to apologize for the rambling feedback you're about to get from me.

Thanks TimothyM, carlieplum and of course, one of my favorite commenters Annanova. I appreciate it.

I was naughty putting it in LW. I would have put it in Romance, but I thought it would give away the surprise reconciliation at the end. I'll take my licks.

Actually kind of fun to get lots of comments all over the place. And watch the commenters bicker between themselves. The story started with a horrid score but it's slowly crawling upward. I think it's about a 4.42 now - better than I'd expected, but not as good as I hoped. I really am a whore for those little Red "H"s.

Great stories already. Geronimo, Heyall, Ben Long, all to be expected.

I liked yours carlieplum, but I don't think Literotica's ready for a loving story about real people in a loving relationship. BTW, do those exercise's really work?

Against sound reason I've ventured back into The LW category. I'd really appreciate feedback if you get a chance to read it. I've enjoyed the ones I've read so far in this year's contest. I'll get to more of them soon.

I know she was way behind. My last four stories/chapters took almost a week to post. First five days, then six.

Glad to hear I'm not the only one who had a five day posting time earlier this month. But I guess all the non-contest stories will now lag even more behind. Which is as it should be, Valentine stories should come first, and it's nice that they post almost immediately. Gives more incentive to submit I guess.

Good evening. The anthropithecus tells me that there are 21 stories in the competition to date, with an average score of 4.45 from an average of 238 votes.
